The Official NBASupes, Sothron, and theCampster Insider Thread - NBA 2022-23 Season

[ShooterSays]

KP at $36M and a backup big for around $10M and you’re in the same boat cap wise, but you have a potentially better fit around OO.

I don’t know what his next contract will look like, obviously, so just going off the data we have now.

I await anyone that can poopoo my BLopez idea....

Lol I actually like Lopez a lot. If the Bucks somehow let him go, he’d be up there on my wish list as well.

@ShooterSays ain't wrong in wanting us to have more positional size, fwiw. 

Also more shooting and scoring in addition to his size.

Is he?  Maybe it's like when a guy hits a homerun then everybody in the dugout gives him the silent treatment as a joke?

Too bad we gave Dre what Saddiq is earning... and he didn't earn it at all.

Wow Wembenyama’s team got blown out in first game in their league finals ….such an embarrassment. No way he could be selected as the first pick. He’s gotta drop to the 15th pick, such a shame…

While you’re joking, I truly think his teammate Bilal Coulibaly is being seriously overrated. He screams Frank Ntilikina to me. Measurables and defensive upside with no real offensive skill that will translate to the league. He is almost in the top ten in mocks now off of people watching his teammates highlights

Zion's problems are just that he's big and young (immature). I think people are running wild with this weight thing like a "toldjaso" and also want to be right about their about pre-draft analysis.  They weren't (and still aren't) impressed with his game and are eager for validation.  They want to declare him a bust and in typical fashion, are ready to do so as soon as possible.  I'm not there.  I liked Zion before the draft and I like him now. 

 

Very good overall post.  But I want to focus on this one piece here.

I absolutely agree with people going overboard about his weight.  Let's keep it real.  Even at 300 lbs, Zion would still be a dominant force on the court.  The most overlooked thing about him, is that people just think that he's a dunker.  Nope.  That dude is skillful as hell and agile around the rim.  While he falls to the ground way too much for my liking as a big man, he's an offensive force when he does have the ball in his hands.

His immaturity is obvious, and along the lines of Ja Morant.  They express it in different ways, according to their interest, but neither are mature at all.   And as much as people has talked about Trae's maturity, he's FAR MORE mature than those 2 put together.

But I agree that some in the media are purposely going after Zion, in hopes he can validate their bust or "not so great" narratives about him.  I remember another guy that they tried to do that to.  Some small PG from Oklahoma, I believe.
